C# Lydian scale on the guitar fretboard

The C# Lydian scale is made of C# (the root), D# (major second), E# (major third), F## (augmented fourth), G# (perfect fifth), A# (major sixth) and B# (major seventh). The fretboard shows every one of them across the neck in standard tuning (E A D G B E), and plays them back so you can hear the scale.

The Lydian mode is the fourth mode of the major scale, a major scale with a raised fourth. The raised fourth sits a tritone from the root, and the scale shares its notes with a major scale a fifth above. It is the brightest of the seven modes.
